Karnataka govt to shift proposed RGUHS medical college from Ramanagara to Kanakapura

As per the report, the state government has started the groundwork to identify land to shift the proposed medical college from Ramanagara to Kanakapura.

In the latest development on the medical college which was earlier proposed to be constructed on the Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Science campus (RGUHS) at Ramanagara, the Karnataka government has now decided to set up the medical college in Kanakapura.

The state government is all set to construct the medical college in Kanakapura and has started the groundwork to identify the land needed.

After a meeting with department and RGUHS officials to discuss the campus construction issue, Medical Education Minister Sharan Prakash Patil said, “Ramanagara will have only the admin block of the university.” Justifying the decision to shift the college to Kanakapura, the Minister said: “The previous BJP government had shifted the college sanctioned for Kanakapura to Chickballapur.”

As per the report of Deccan Herald, the cost of construction of the RGUHS campus at Ramanagara will go up after the state government has decided to shift the medical college from earlier proposed at Ramanagara to Kanakapura.

RGUHS has already released INR 400 crore when the BJP government was in power and even the tender was floated. A state delegation headed by minister Sharan Prakash Patil is meeting the Union Health minister on Tuesday requesting to sanction All India Institute of Medical Sciences to Raichur. “Chief minister has already written to the Union Health minister and we are also taking a delegation," Patil said.
